O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
I woke up one Saturday morning to go pay my utility bills. Not too many of the stores were open.
I really began to crave for some Kentucky Fried Chicken. I pulled into the lot just to see their opening times. I was about an hour early. I went on to pay all of my bills. I really couldn't shake the craving I was having. I could almost taste it in my imagination.
As I pulled into the lot again I saw a long time acquaintance cleaning the lot before the store opening. I told him of my craving and that I would try to go to another restaurant way across the city. I really wasn't expecting what was about to happen. He looked at my brother who had been with me all the time and said, let me go in and see what I can do for you. He came out with two large breasts compliments of the manager. The chicken was piping hot and fresh and out of the fryer. It was perhaps the best chicken I ever tasted in my entire life.
The craving is what brought me there, but the blessing of the Lord is what afforded me the craving to be satisfied. I thank God for the opportunity to show me that he knows how to satisfy my longings and desires.
Psalm 34 is a gold mine of scriptures of the Lord watching out for his children.
There are times that our spirit craves the Lord. No matter what we try to substitute it with, it will not satisfy the taste in our mouths or the hunger in our souls. We attempt to satisfy it entertainment or the crowd. We may try to substitute it with everything but the right thing.
O taste and see that the "LORD" is good. It is the Lord that is good.
He is satisfyingly delicious. He satisfies the longing in the soul.
More than that piece of chicken which satisfied my fleshy cravings, only God can satisfy the longing in the soul.
